opinions need on paint color
my car was originally spark yellow and wondering if it would be worth it to repaint it back to the original color or not? if not i plan on repainting my car this winter a glossy white
i was told the 79 in spark yellow were really limited and hard to get your hands on
is this true?
opinions on this would be great
thanks
kyle

Check this thread from a couple months back:

The ebay seller says only 356 Spark Yellow were made, but who knows. Makes a good story.
Whether that number is true or not, they were uncommon. I graduated from university in '79 and thought about buying one. Wish I had!

im trying to find somebody who has garage space over the winter so i can paint it thats why i ask, and i guess the owner who painted it is a total hippie-whom i met- and wanted to be even more different so painted it the teal/turquise blue i have on it now

<chuckle> Kyle, you're a young guy. Don't listen to old guys like me. Do what you like.
If all the underhood parts are still yellow, there's an advantage to staying factory correct.
If the car is in decent shape and you'd like to keep top $ value, factory original is still best.
But then I look at a cartoon of a camo'd Datsun 510 with P-40 Warhawk teeth...
